because of having the (wonderful) mover fitted to the van we have needed to purchase a bigger battery well what a night mare that was

Our van has quite a small compartment to hold the battery so tryig to find a battery with a higher ampage without getting to large a battery was a bit of a feat

so to help others that may find themselves in the same situation the numax cxv 105

(last year it would have been sold as a 115) fits the bill perfectly

We have a Powrtouch mover and use an 85ah battery.

I suppose it depends just how long and how far you expect to use it, but we have no problems.

how far do you move it ???

ours is a 75 (i think lol) cos the 85 wouldnt fit either

ours is 85a/h also , fits perfectly and no problem at all powering the mover up the slope into our drive and into the garden.

the bigger battery was a mare to fit properly

I also use an 86 amp battery, have used it for 3 years now without any problems,

however, my unit is under 1 ton

 Hi all, the above posters seem to be missing the point ie if your battery is not kept

well charged  and in good condition then it doesnt matter if its a 75amp/hour or a 105 it will fail just when you need it most I speak from bitter experiance. ooh me back! try pushing a 1400kg van into a pitch on a dark windy night in the pouring rain

on your own then you will see the need for looking after your battery..
